My child always turns to the left. Can you lock the wheels to make the walker go straight? Most children will naturally go to one side or the other. This is because one side is stronger, more limber, or more coordinated. The goal of the TAOS is to give your child a workout to build up the side not working as hard. The way to walk straight is to work on equal steps left and right. Since they are probably trying to walk as evenly as they know how, you need to encourage longer steps on the weak side and/or have them take shorter steps on their good side. When just getting started in the TAOS we often just help them out by walking beside them and pushing sideways on the top of the mast to counter their turning tendency. Though they will improve there may be bad days and need a little help.
